Avyakt murli for Tuesday 16 February 1988

⁰> > 16-02-88 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Always maintain enthusiasm and celebrate with festivity

²Today, the Father, the Lord of the World, (Vishweshwar) has come to celebrate a meeting with His elevated creation of the world and the elevated original jewels, the extremely loving and close children.

³All souls of the world are the children of the Father, the Lord of the World.

⁴However, Brahmin souls are extremely loving and close souls because Brahmins are the original creation.

⁵Together with the father, Brahmin souls also incarnate into a Brahmin life and become co­ operative souls in the Father’s task.

⁶This is why BapDada has come today to celebrate the birthday of the children incarnating into Brahmin life.

⁷Children are dancing in happiness with zeal and enthusiasm to celebrate the Father’s birthday, but BapDada is pleased to see this Brahmin life of the children, and how with love and co­operation from the Father, they are moving forward with courage.

⁸So, you are celebrating BapDada’s birthday and the Father is celebrating the children’s birthday.

⁹It is also the birthday of you Brahmins, is it not?

¹⁰Double congratulations from BapDada as well as from Jagadamba and all the special elevated souls, your companions of the advance party together with a shower of golden flowers of love for your alokik Brahmin life. ¹¹These are congratulations from the heart, not just words.

¹²Therefore, congratulations from the heart of the Father, the Comforter of the Hearts, to all the elevated souls whether they are seated personally in front of BapDada or whether they are in front of the Father with their mind. ¹³Congratulations, congratulations to all the children everywhere.

¹⁴On this day, devotee souls have special awareness of the point form of the Father.

¹⁵Shiv Jayanti or Shiv Ratri is not the memorial of a corporeal form, but, it is of the importance of the Incorporeal Father, the Point, who is worshipped in the form of a Shivlingum.

¹⁶All of you also always have the awareness of the point form of the Father in your heart.

¹⁷So, you are a point and the Father is also a point. ¹⁸So, on this day, every devotee soul in Bharat is especially aware of the importance of the point form of the Father.

¹⁹A point is subtle and to that extent, it is also powerful.

²⁰This is why the Father, the Point, is said to be the Ocean of powers, virtues and knowledge.

²¹So, the waves of special enthusiasm for the birthday from the hearts of all of you children are reaching BapDada from amrit vela.

²²Just as you children as embodiments of love for the Father have especially hoisted the Father’s flag for service, so what flag has the Father hoisted?

²³All of you have hoisted Shiv Baba’s flag. ²⁴Will the Father hoist the same flag?

²⁵This responsibility of service in the corporeal form has been given to you children.

²⁶The Father has also hoisted a flag, but which one and where?

²⁷BapDada has hoisted the flag of love for all the children’s specialities in His heart.

²⁸How many flags would He have hoisted?

²⁹No one in this world can hoist as many flags.

³⁰It must be such a beautiful scene.

³¹The flag of the speciality of each child is flying in BapDada’s heart.

³²It isn’t just you who have hoisted a flag; BapDada has also hoisted a flag.

³³What happens when you hoist this flag?

³⁴There is a shower of flowers.

³⁵When BapDada hoists the flag of love for the children’s specialities, what shower takes place?

³⁶There is the shower of the blessings, “May you be imperishable, may you be immortal, may you be unshakeable and immovable” on each child.

³⁷These blessings are BapDada’s imperishable and alokik flowers.

³⁸BapDada has even greater happiness than you children for this day of incarnation, that is, for the day of Shiv Jayanti; there is happiness and more happiness!

³⁹Because, on this day of incarnation, the memorial is celebrated every year, but when the Father incarnates in the corporeal body of Brahma, then BapDada, but especially Father Shiva has the special happiness that He has been separated from you close, loving children for such a long time while He was in the supreme abode, even though there are other souls in the supreme abode. ⁴⁰However, the souls of the first creation, the ones who are to become equal to the Father and are companions in service have met Him after such a long time since incarnating (at the beginning).

⁴¹The elevated souls who have been separated for a long time come and meet Him once again.

⁴²When you meet someone from whom you have been separated and whom you love deeply, you experience happiness and more happiness.

⁴³The day of incarnation means to meet His original creation once again.

⁴⁴You understand that you have found the Father and the Father says, “I have found My children.”

⁴⁵The Father is proud of His first creation.

⁴⁶All of you are the first creation, are you not? ⁴⁷You are not warriors, are you?

⁴⁸All of you are the sun dynasty, the first creation, are you not?

⁴⁹Brahmins become deities, do they not?

⁵⁰So Brahmin souls are the first creation.

⁵¹All are the eternal creation; souls of the whole world are the creation.

⁵²However, you are the eternal and the first creation.

⁵³So, you have double intoxication, do you not? ⁵⁴Today, BapDada is giving a special slogan.

⁵⁵Today is said to be the day of a festival.

⁵⁶People celebrate Shiv Ratri or Shiv Jayanti as a festival.

⁵⁷Always remember this slogan of the day of the festival: Every moment of Brahmin life is a moment of festivity.

⁵⁸Brahmin life means to constantly celebrate a festival, to always maintain your enthusiasm and give souls enthusiasm through your every action.

⁵⁹So, you have to celebrate a festival, remain enthusiastic and give enthusiasm to others.

⁶⁰Where there is enthusiasm, no one can move those souls away from that enthusiasm no matter what type of obstacle comes in front of them.

⁶¹When you have temporary enthusiasm, you forget everything else, do you not?

⁶²At the time when you are celebrating something you have happiness and you don’t remember anything else.

⁶³So, in Brahmin life, every moment is a festivity, that is, every moment is spent with enthusiasm.

⁶⁴In that case, would anything else come up?

⁶⁵When you go to limited celebrations, what do they have there?

⁶⁶They have dancing, singing, watching games being played and food. ⁶⁷That is all there is, isn’t it?

⁶⁸So, what do you do throughout the day in the celebrations of Brahmin life?

⁶⁹When you do service, you do that considering it to be a game, or do you feel it to be a burden?

⁷⁰In today’s world, when souls without knowledge do even a little bit of mental work, what do they say? ⁷¹“I am very tired. ⁷²I have a lot of pressure of work on my brain.”

⁷³And what do you say when you return having done service? ⁷⁴“We have returned having eaten the nourishing fruit of service.”

⁷⁵This is because, when you become an instrument for the biggest service of all, then the bigger and the more beautiful the instant fruit of service you receive.

⁷⁶When you eat instant fruit, you receive even more power.

⁷⁷Your power of happiness increases. ⁷⁸This is why, no matter how hard the physical work may be, or it may even be mental work, making plans, you don’t feel any tiredness.

⁷⁹You are not even aware of whether it is night or day.

⁸⁰If you didn’t have a watch, would you know what time it was?

⁸¹However, you are celebrating with enthusiasm and therefore, service gives you enthusiasm and enables you to experience festivity.

⁸²In Brahmin life, one is service and what is the other thing?

⁸³Maya comes.

⁸⁴You are laughing on hearing Maya being mentioned because you understand that Maya has a lot of love for you.

⁸⁵You don’t love her, but she loves you.

⁸⁶In a celebration, you also watch games.

⁸⁷Which game does everyone like a lot nowadays?

⁸⁸You play many games of Mickey Mouse.

⁸⁹Even advertisements are shown in the Mickey Mouse games.

⁹⁰People either like to watch a match or Mickey Mouse games.

⁹¹So, here too, when Maya comes, have a match with her. ⁹²Target her!

⁹³What do you do in a game?

⁹⁴A ball is thrown to you and you then throw it to someone else, and when it is caught, your team is victorious.

⁹⁵Similarly, this is the ball of Maya. ⁹⁶It sometimes comes in the form of lust, sometimes in the form of anger.

⁹⁷Catch it, seeing it as Maya’s game.

⁹⁸If you play the games of Maya considering them to be games, your enthusiasm will increase, but if you see any situation of Maya as an enemy, you become afraid.

⁹⁹In Mickey Mouse cartoons, sometimes a monkey comes, sometimes a cat, sometimes a dog and sometimes a mouse, but do you become afraid?

¹⁰⁰You enjoy watching it, do you not?

¹⁰¹So here too, watch the games of the different situations of Maya in the form of a celebration.

¹⁰²What would you say if someone became afraid watching a game?

¹⁰³While watching a game, if some think that the ball is coming towards them and that perhaps it may hit them, would they be able to watch the game?

¹⁰⁴So, watch the game with happiness and pleasure. ¹⁰⁵Do not be afraid of Maya.

¹⁰⁶Consider it to be entertainment.

¹⁰⁷Even if it comes in the form of a lion, do not be afraid.

¹⁰⁸Always have the awareness and enthusiasm that every moment of Brahmin life is a festival.

¹⁰⁹You are watching this game in the midst of that, you are dancing in happiness and you are also singing songs of praise of the specialities and virtues of the Father and the Brahmin family, and also eating Brahma bhojan with pleasure.

¹¹⁰No one else in the world gets food as pure and prepared in as much remembrance as you do.

¹¹¹This bhojan is called the food that removes your sorrow.

¹¹²Bhojan prepared in remembrance removes all your sorrow because through pure food, both your mind and body become pure.

¹¹³If impure money comes to you, it makes your happiness disappear and brings worry.

¹¹⁴The more impure money you have ­ for instance, you might receive 100,000 but the worry it brings would be multimillionfold, and worry is always said to be like a pyre. ¹¹⁵How can anyone sitting on a pyre be happy?

¹¹⁶Pure food makes your mind pure and this is why even your wealth is purified.

¹¹⁷There is importance given to food prepared in remembrance. ¹¹⁸This is why Brahma bhojan is praised.

¹¹⁹If you don’t prepare food and eat it in remembrance, then that food would make your stage fluctuate.

¹²⁰Food that is prepared and eaten in remembrance works like medicine and also like a blessing.

¹²¹Food prepared in remembrance can never cause any harm.

¹²²Therefore, celebrate at every moment no matter in what form Maya comes.

¹²³Achcha.

¹²⁴If she comes in the form of attachment, just think that she has come to show you the games of monkeys.

¹²⁵Watch the games as a detached observer; do not allow yourself to be caught up in Maya’s spinning.

¹²⁶When you get caught up in the spinning, you become afraid.

¹²⁷Nowadays, they make little children perform such entertaining games. ¹²⁸They make them climb high up and then make them come down.

¹²⁹So this too is entertainment; it is a game.

¹³⁰She may come in any form. ¹³¹Just watch the Mickey Mouse games.

¹³²Anything that comes also goes.

¹³³Maya comes in any form: one minute she comes and the next minute she goes away.

¹³⁴Together with that, do not walk away from your elevated stage; let Maya come.

¹³⁵Why do you go away with her?
